Summary:

This collection of essays explores historical, geographical and cultural factors that contribute to our understanding of places and the settings of Australian transient communities. From Gwalia and Kalagoorlie in Western Australia, Charters Towers in Queensland and Queenstown in Tasmania, these places offer the opportunity to revisit sites of history from the disciplines of architecture, landscape theory, social history and the visual arts. They also provide a springboard for think through the pressing issues for contemporary Australians their counter parts in other 'post-settler' societies. Book jacket.
